I just finished first season in charge of Brighton. Promoted as champions with a 13-point lead. Played an offensive 4-3-2-1, much like I did in FM13, with great success. Short passing, playing down the wings, Ulloa as a deep lying forward with Buckley on the right and Kaz/Orlandi on the left acting as inside forwards. Midfield of Crofts, Kasami and Agustien were rocks, keeping the pace of the game where I wanted it. Ward, Dunk, Greer and Bruno were the back four all season; couple of changes when Bruno needed some rest.
Key signings:
Patjim Kasami - Loan
Jorge Casado - ?350k from Real Madrid
Antonio Adan - Free (most clean sheets in the country by the end of the season)
Sales:
Bridcutt - Hull ?6.5m
Lopez - Cardiff - ?2m
Brezovan - Everton - ?80K (****** knows why but I took the cash anyway)
Now time to shore up for the Prem. Decided against keeping any of the loanees so now to get some players in! There are a bunch of quality youngsters being released so I'm planning on snapping them up on frees and sending them out on loans whilst buying some experienced players to do the job of keeping us up.
